Love it

Would Recommend

Fantastic portable charcoal grill. I have found that lump charcoal works far better. I would like to see some type of holder for the power supply incorporated into the cart. I also replaced the grate with a cast iron grate. You can't go wrong.

Amazing portable smoker and grill!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this last summer and I love it. I live in a small town house and have a small side yard so it’s perfect if you have limited space. Perfect size for a family of four. I’ve done quick cooks like burgers and hot dogs to some short smokes like chicken and ribs, this handled it all like a champ. Heats up quick too and it’s easy to control the temp. Would definitely recommend to anyone with limited space or if you need something portable for tai...

Great grill at a discount

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this grill. It is easy to fire up and throw some meat on for a quick and easy cook. The charcoal chamber did deform due to high heat, but still functional.

Small in Size, Mighty in Performance!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Charcoal Grill, and it has been a game-changer for our outdoor cooking sessions! Here are a few reasons why this grill has quickly become my go-to for any barbecue occasion: 1. **Portability at Its Best:** We love camping and tailgating, and this grill's compact size and lightweight design make it incredibly easy to take along anywhere.

Portable and great smoker

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought the portable smoker when we wanted to smoke small amounts of food (chicken wings). We love the ease of loading charcoal and the length of burn when smoking meat.

Great For Grilling BUT It Is Terrible As A Smoker

I purchased this item to use as a temporary fix so that I could still grill and smoke while my patio was being poured. This item works great as a grill but as a smoker it leaves much to be desired. It will not hold a steady temperature as it fluctuates 10 to 15 degrees constantly. The temp gage it came with reads 80 degrees low from the actual temperature. And finally there is one heck of a hot spot next to the fire box. If you want to use this as a grill I recommend it. At the higher temps it w...

Compact and versatile.

Would Recommend

What an amazing Grill. I was able to finally use this on my camping trip and it didn't let me down. This unit worked as it was supposed to and didn't let me down. I went a step further and painted it to my liking.

Saw on a fishing trip

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] On a fishing trip a guy was using this grill to cook shore lunches. He would collapse it down and secure it to the top of a cooler on a small boat. Worked great and easy to setup and take down.

Ingenious design and compact smoker/grill!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought the Portable Charcoal Grill and Smoker 3 years ago and it has held up very well. We needed a compact grill option that was well built because we live in a condo development. The Portable Charcoal Grill and Smoker is great for a small family. Just be aware it is only big enough to smoke small 1-3 pounds

2nd unit I buy 1st was great, built very poor

Would Not Recommend

This is the second unit that I bought from you. Both were portable grills their first one. I bought it as a gift. This one I bought for myself. The first one works fine and works well and it was assembled properly. The Assembly of this unit is very poor quality. The lid does not match up with the base. I cannot close it properly and I cannot lock it at all.
